As the 2026 Annual Open Exhibition is the 25th anniversary exhibition for the UKCPS, we have introduced a special category for this occasion and for members only.
We would like to invite members to submit an image in the special category called ‘SILVER’. The subject is open and the prize is the use of your image to promote the exhibition. The winning picture will also be automatically selected to be exhibited in the Mall Galleries, unless you are an overseas member where it is not feasible to get the picture to the gallery.
Only one picture per artist can be entered for this category and there will be no entry fee. Pictures will be selected by the executive committee members who do not wish to enter themselves.
In accordance with the exhibition rules, the work must be original to the artist and must comprise at least 50% colour pencil. To check eligibility, please read the rule guidance.
Closing date for entries to this ‘SILVER’ category is 11th January 2026.
The winner will be informed by 22nd January 2026. If you are not the winner, you are welcome to enter your 'silver' picture for selection to the exhibition via the usual entry form which will be subject to the entry fee and rules (closing date 25th January 2026).
